EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring temple buildings and Intihuatana in Pisac, Peru. The image transports us to a time long ago, where the Incan civilization flourished amidst these magnificent structures. The Temple of the Sun takes center stage in this photograph, its walls standing tall and proud against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. It is said that within these sacred walls, an Intihuatana was placed - a revered stone used by the Incans to tether the sun and prevent it from escaping. This remarkable stone also served as an astronomical observatory, further highlighting the advanced knowledge and understanding of celestial movements possessed by this ancient civilization. As we gaze upon this pre-Columbian archaeological site, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural significance it holds. The remains of this holy place stand as a testament to human ingenuity and architectural brilliance. The intricate details etched into every wall tell stories lost to time but preserved through these ruins. Each brick seems to whisper tales of devotion and spirituality that once filled these hallowed grounds. Through this print captured by Incan artist Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the grandeur and mystique surrounding these temple buildings. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, their beauty endures as a symbol of our shared human heritage.
